Using AI for BA, QA, and dev-adjacent work

AI assistants help a technical business analyst in banking with business analysis tasks, QA work, dev-adjacent tasks, and code exploration.

Why the human is still essential here

The analyst still has to supply banking context, interpret requirements, validate outputs, and participate in stakeholder discussions because the AI lacks full organizational context and cannot challenge meeting decisions effectively.

How people use this

Requirements-to-user-story drafts

AI turns banking change notes and Confluence materials into draft Jira stories, acceptance criteria, and follow-up questions for analyst review.

Regression test case generation

AI converts payments, onboarding, or compliance requirements into structured positive, negative, and edge-case QA scenarios that testers refine before execution.

Codebase impact analysis

AI helps inspect repositories, APIs, and SQL related to a fintech change request so the BA can quickly understand impacted systems before handing work to developers.

I'm a Technical Business Analyst in fintech/banking, AMA about Tech BA roles

Hey everyone,

I've been working as a Technical Business Analyst in banking for several years now. My job sits right in the gap between business stakeholders and dev teams. I take high-level business flows and turn them into sprint-ready functional requirements that developers can actually build from. Data mappings, API integration specs, happy/unhappy paths, the whole thing.


Before this I studied CS and Finance, and I've seen a lot of people struggle to break into the "technical" side of business analysis, either because they come from a pure business background and don't know how to talk to developers, or they come from a dev background and don't know how to translate business language.


I'm happy to answer any questions you have about:

- What a Tech BA actually does day-to-day (it's not what most job postings describe)

- How to be credible in interviews when you don't have a traditional BA background

- The skills that actually matter vs. the ones that look good on a resume but nobody uses

- How to go from writing vague requirements to writing specs developers respect

- Working in banking/fintech, the good, the bad

- Using AI tools effectively as a BA , what works, what's overhyped, and where most people waste time with ChatGPT


No course to sell, no newsletter to plug. Just figured I'd give back since I lurk here a lot and see the same questions come up.
